There are lots of great things about working at a magazine, but one of my favorites has to be the fact that sequins are acceptable office wear. Enter this skirt, which combines two of my favorite things: bling and the color gold. Here, I paired it with a plain black tee and some muted metallic accessories, and it went nicely from a day of beauty events and meetings to my friend Ashley’s party later that night. And because I had a lot of shine going on in the outfit, I kept my makeup simple with subtle neutral shadow and berry lipgloss tapped on lightly to sheer it out.
